I feel like flying was at its best back in the 90s or something. Or that might just be because I was a child back then and did not have to deal with all the bullshit. Train travel has so much potential to be better than flying.
It was definitely better: We had real dishes, forks, spoons and knives made of metal, bigger seats, real food. You had not to pay extra for every breath you take.
Only one thing was worse: smoking cabins were a thing back then. I remember sitting between two old guys smoking as a child. That was the worst flight ever π€’
It was also way more expensive. Donβt forget you paid for that food and the seats. Today you have a choice.
